Warranties and Floor Care

MANNINGTON FLOOR CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent

dirt, sand, grit or other substances such as oil, asphalt and

driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. Use mats

labeled non-staining on your floor.

• To minimize staining from asphalt tracking, we suggest you use

latex-based driveway sealer on your driveway.

• Close your curtains or blinds where extreme sunlight hits the

floor. Like with all floor coverings, protect the finished

ADURA®Flex installation from exposure to direct sunlight. A

combination of heat and sunlight can cause most home

furnishings to fade or discolor. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight

for prolonged periods. During peak sunlight hours, the use of

blinds or drapes is recommended. Prolonged direct sunlight can

result in discoloration and excessive temperatures may cause

floor expansion (which may cause buckling) or delamination.

• Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor

protectors. The protectors should be at least one-inch in

diameter, made of non-pigmented hard plastic, and rest flat on

the floor. Non-staining felt protectors are also acceptable. Casters

with a minimum 3/4” flat surface width or floor protectors are

recommended for all movable furniture. Make sure any metal

protectors are rust-proof. Replace your narrow dome furniture

rests with wide-bearing ones.

• If you need to move heavy furniture and/or appliances across the

floor, always use strips of wood or hardboard runways to protect

the floor. Always use runways even if you have an appliance dolly

or even if heavy objects are equipped with wheels or rollers.

• Sweep your floor regularly (at least once per week).

• Prevent stains by wiping up spills immediately.

• Occasional cleaning with Mannington UltraClean™ (lightly misted)

and a microfiber mop (or cloth) or mopping with Mannington

Award Series® Rinse-Free Cleaner is recommended when dirt

builds up and sweeping alone is not sufficient. Use a solution of 2

to 3 capfuls of Award Series® Cleaner (or clear, non-sudsy

ammonia) in one gallon of warm water. Use of more than the

recommended amount of cleaning solution may leave a dulling

film. Do not use soap or detergent products as they will leave a

dulling film. Rinsing is not required when using Mannington

Award Series® Rinse-Free Cleaner, but if time permits, rinsing will

provide the best care.

• ADURA®Flex is a low-gloss floor; use polish or “mop and shine”

products only if you wish to make the floor shiny.

• After several applications of polish for a high-shine floor, an

occasional stripping and reapplication of polish may be

necessary. We recommend the use of Mannington Award

Series® Heavy Duty Cleaner and Stripper. After thorough

cleaning, rinsing and drying, we recommend applying

Mannington Award Series® High-Gloss Polish to restore the shine.

Do not use wax. Do not buff. High traffic areas may require more

than one application of polish. Allow polish to dry “tack-free”

between coats.

For complete instructions regarding the proper use of

Mannington floor care products, refer to the package labels.

Caution: Adura Floors can be slippery when they become wet. Use

extreme caution when walking on a wet floor.

The overall stain resistance of ADURA®Flex is excellent, and most

spills will wipe off quickly and easily with a clean, white cloth.

Removing certain substances may take a little extra effort, as

outlined in the chart below.

• Start with the first step listed.

• Only do steps necessary to resolve the problem.

• Always use a clean, white cloth for wiping up stains and turn it

frequently to avoid spreading the stain.

• Rinse with clean water and allow area to dry between steps.

• If stain removal causes a change in gloss level, apply polish per

recommended guidelines.
